The map-centric HappyMedian.com plots destinations for friends in various locations to meet, whether they're angling for a restaurant, coffeehouse, movie theater or other venue.

What's hot: In trying to find a middle ground, users can enter up to four addresses, and they'll get more than one destination in the search results. Locals and travelers who know the area can quickly decide among towns and then flip among types of meeting spots from a pull-down menu. A Google map sits just to the right of the listed options, and push pins highlight the choices. When I searched lodgings between Los Angeles and San Diego, hotels, motels, vacation rental and B&Bs were listed in separate categories.

What's not: In the Los Angeles-San Diego example, my choices were slim, and I couldn't sort my results by price or rating.
